So I’ve finally sent the Q9650 to Centauri Communication’s headquarters and I’ve send Josh some money to buy another 4GB (2x2GB) module for the dedicated server. The only thing I have to do now is wait and hope that everything goes well.
I’m pretty sure the motherboard which is an Intel DQ35JO Micro ATX would accept the Q9650 without a hitch. It’s been verified by Intel’s compatibility tool to work with all versions of the motherboard. Josh told me that I still have 2 extra memory slots so that 4GB (2x2GB) would also be a GO for me. I’ve verified all of this information too using lshw. It is a small tool to extract detailed information about the hardware that you have.
All in all, I have a beastly dedicated server. Go me.
